The Paranoid Tendency

Daily Pundit:

I have felt for quite a while that the Bushes made a deal with McCain – that in exchange for his support of the establishment (McCain is about as much a “maverick” as George Herbert Walker Bush or Bob Dole), Bush and the establishment would back him in his run for the Presidency this year. I’ve seen nothing to disabuse me of that notion.

Not so much a crack-up as a melt-down.

Quote For The Day

"Ultimately, the choice will say more about our soul as a nation than about the candidates in this election. The boldness of Obama in accepting the Clintons’ injection of race as an issue and his insistence on an enlightened answer challenges us all. Even as one’s head warns that the strategy will fail, one’s heart hopes that it will succeed. Either way, Obama has made the Super Tuesday vote more about who we are than who the candidates running for president are," – Dick Morris. He still has a heart?

Out And Over It

Boy George has exactly the right attitude about being openly gay:

I don’t think of myself as a gay pop star. There are gay pop stars who are totally obsessed with being gay, but I’ve never been one of those. I love straight people; it takes two of them to make one of us! I’ve never had that kind of separatist attitude about "gay" and "straight". I love being gay and I support gay culture, but I don’t think of myself as being a solely gay artist. […]

Today’s gay pop stars are out of the closet, but they don’t express anything about their sexuality. They don’t ever use the word "he" in their songs. They think they don’t need to, because they think everybody loves them, and they think they’re all accepted. You see, they’ve been lulled into this false sense of security! (Laughs) When I write a song about a boy, I’m not thinking about the radio or any of that; I’m thinking about what I feel. You’ll see that in my show.
